Bible Note: My Bible teacher sent me this, I haven't seen the movie yet: I went to see this movie over the weekend and this movie is full of fiction and biblical errors. See article below. Sig. SOME THINGS IN MEL GIBSON’S MOVIE THAT ARE ADDED TO THE BIBLE ACCOUNT [Many of the quotes from Anne-Catherine Emmerich’s visions are from The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, as collected by Tim Challies.] * The soldiers begin beating Jesus even in the Garden of Gethsemane. * As they are escorting Jesus after his arrest, the soldiers throw Jesus off of a bridge by massive chains; he falls onto the rocky ground below and is then brutally yanked him back up again. (Gibson got this from the visions of Catholic mystic Anne-Catherine Emmerich. “I saw our Lord fall twice before he reached the bridge, and these falls were caused entirely by the barbarous manner in which the soldiers dragged him; but when they were half over the bridge they gave full vent to their brutal inclinations, and struck Jesus with such violence that they threw him off the bridge into the water.”) * Jesus confronts Judas after his arrest when he is hung off of the bridge. (Gibson got this from the visions of Catholic mystic Anne-Catherine Emmerich.) * Jesus is imprisoned in a room under the temple. * Herod calls Jesus a fool and demands that he be given the homage of a fool. (Gibson got this from the visions of Catholic mystic Anne-Catherine Emmerich. “But he spoke in the most contemptuous manner to Jesus, and turning to the guards and servants who surrounded him, and who were about two hundred in number, said: ‘Take away this fool, and pay him that homage which is his due; he is mad, rather than guilty of any crime.’”) * The Roman soldiers call Jesus “King of worms” and “wormy king.” * The soldiers hammer the crown down on Jesus’ head, but the Bible says nothing about this. * Mary is near Jesus all during His suffering. The Bible says nothing about this. * During the scourging Mary says to Jesus, “My son, when, where, how will you choose to be delivered of this?” * Mary interacts with Pilate’s wife and appeals to her to protect Jesus from the angry crowd. There is not a hint of this in Scripture. (Gibson got this from the visions of Catholic mystic Anne-Catherine Emmerich.) * Pontius Pilate’s wife gives some cloths to Mary. (Gibson got this from the visions of Catholic mystic Anne-Catherine Emmerich. “ “I saw Claudia Procles, the wife of Pilate, send some large pieces of linen to the Mother of God.”) * Mary and Mary Magdalene wipe up Jesus’ blood after He is whipped. (This is from Anne-Catherine Emmerich’s visions. “Then it was that the Mother of Jesus, accompanied by the holy women, approached the pillar and wiped up the blood with which it and the ground around were saturated.”) * A young woman tries to give Jesus a drink of water or wine on the way to the cross, but a Roman soldier stops her. Before she tries to give him a drink, she wipes his face with her cloth and the image of his bloody face is imprinted on the cloth. She is shown cherishing the cloth close to her body as she watches Jesus continue his way toward the cross. This is based on the Catholic legend about Veronica, which claims that Jesus rewarded Veronica’s charity in wiping the sweat from his brow by imprinting his image into the cloth. There is no evidence of this myth prior to the 4th or 5th century. The alleged Veronica image of Jesus’ face, which began to appear perhaps in the 8th century, shows the typical longhaired Catholic Jesus. Reproductions of the image have long been used as “healing relics.” The legend became one of the Roman Catholic Church’s 14 Stations of the Cross. (The account about Veronica is also in Anne-Catherine Emmerich’s visions.) * Simon, who carries Jesus’ cross, at first is reluctant, expressing great disdain toward Jesus, but afterwards he has a change of heart and confronts the Romans in Jesus’ defense. (Gibson got this from the visions of Catholic mystic Anne-Catherine Emmerich.) * After Jesus’ first hand is nailed to the cross, his other arm is stretched out violently to reach the hole that had been drilled for the second nail. (Gibson got this from the visions of Catholic mystic Anne-Catherine Emmerich. “When the executioners had nailed the right hand of our Lord, they perceived that his left hand did not reach the hole they had bored to receive the nail, therefore they tied ropes to his left arm, and having steadied their feet against the cross, pulled the left hand violently until it reached the place prepared for it. This dreadful process caused our Lord indescribable agony, his breast heaved, and his legs were quite contracted.”) |
